Welcome to CSI's Database


The CSI database contains data generated by water quality monitoring partnerships between CSI's certified lab, NYSDOH-ELAP #11790, located in Ithaca, New York, and volunteer watershed groups or individual citizens. Results are presented in the form of maps, graphs and raw data. Brief descriptions of sampling programs and data quality assurance and control protocols (metadata) provide context for evaluating the scientific credibility of results.



Results are divided into surface water quality and groundwater quality. Surface water quality is monitored in partnership with groups of volunteers. Groundwater quality is monitored with the consent of private landowners. Results are presented in the form of downloadable maps and graphs. In addition, the database may be searched for specific water quality data and the search results downloaded in an MS Excel file.
